Thanks Bunches, Techie Pagans! ...Twitter started in 2006, less than ten years ago. Facebook was launched in 2004, just over a decade ago. That was 30 years after Roe. YouTube started in 2005. GoPro started right about that same time. The introduction of iPhones, which led to every other person in the country having a movie studio in his pocket, happened in 2007. So I personally think it would be the coolest thing in the world if we arranged for the first great social media reformation to be the pro-life reformation. Thanks bunches, you techie pagans!...

Planned Parenthood Refuses to Report Statutory Rape ...Planned Parenthood’s illicit harvesting of baby organs has been the center of much press lately, but what of PP’s other atrocities? Sex-trafficked girls get abortions at an exceedingly high rate—as my recent article on the topic expounds—and Planned Parenthood employees are knowingly turning blind eye and deaf ear to these trafficked minors...

At the same time, a 2001 study indicated that 91 percent of women preferred that their babies were dead before an abortion was performed. The statistic caused Geary to ask, “How ‘informed’ is their informed consent” to fetal tissue donation?

The idea of donating tissue to research makes the process sound honorable. It brings to mind the option to be an organ donor on your driver’s license or donating your body to science when you die.

The reality is far from this idea. Unborn babies are being subjected to inhumane treatment, whether on not Planned Parenthood is acting within its legal rights. As Geary said, “None us of neither pro-life nor pro-choice, should support the types of practices Planned Parenthood abortion doctors casually discuss over lunch.” ...

Fetal Organs Harvested For Lab Rats
In January, researchers at Ganogen Inc., a biotech company based in Redwood City, Calif., said they had transplanted dozens of fetal kidneys into lab rats. The ultimate goal: Learn how to grow fetal organs to a larger size in a lab animal, with the hopes of transferring the organs into ailing adults in need of transplants.

In a study published in the American Journal of Transplantation, the Ganogen researchers said they procured “55 fully intact human fetal kidneys” from StemExpress. The gestational age of the unborn children was 17 to 18 weeks...

“In recent weeks, it has been shocking to see reports of the alleged activities taking place at Planned Parenthood facilities across the country. Planned Parenthood does not represent the values of the people of Louisiana and shows a fundamental disrespect for human life,” he said. “It has become clear that this is not an organization that is worthy of receiving public assistance from the state.”

Jindal, who had ordered the state to investigate Planned Parenthood for potential felony violations following the release of the first video, canceled the contract because of its "at will" provision. That means that "either party can choose to cancel the contract at will after providing written notice,” according to a press release from the governor's office. “Governor Jindal and DHH decided to give the required 30-day notice to terminate the Planned Parenthood Medicaid provider contract because Planned Parenthood does not represent the values of the State of Louisiana in regards to respecting human life."...

Anne Kennedy: Felt Board Christianity
As the exposing of baby killing has unfolded over the last few weeks I’m surprised to find a sudden convergence of various threads, that I thought were unrelated to each other, suddenly twisting themselves together in my own thinking. Many of us, well, maybe I won’t begin there. I, me myself, have long long been horrified by the knowledge that the ordinary mother, the woman who happens to become pregnant, in this country, has the right to do away with the child if she sees fit. The horror that I have felt, from my youth, isn’t, I don’t think, because I have a better moral compass than the average Chrisitan, but springs largely from two sources. One, I’m not from here. And two, I have read the bible...

Psalm 94 and Planned Parenthood
Today, almost 900 babies will die in a Planned Parenthood building. Instead of healing and helping lives, white lab coats will end lives. And while it seems many people are reconsidering what abortion is, in part to these unbelievable undercover videos by the Center for Medical Progress, I’m more disturbed and unsettled than ever. Yes, I’m disturbed and saddened by the high-handed and legalized murder of the smallest among us. I’m terrified by the Molech-echoing wickedness from our President who hissed, “God bless you,” to Planned Parenthood (Lev. 18:21). No, Mr. President. Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood, is the High Priest of Molech, and our President helps build her altars.
